The first 2 weeks of sobriety I woke up full of energy and ready to go. This past week I’ve woken up with brain fog every single morning. Granted its still way better than waking up with a hangover but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what may be causing it. Any ideas?
I would recommend getting some bloodwork done and have them check the liver function tests as well.
I experience brain fog often but mine is due to having cirrhosis of the liver. One of the effects is too much ammonia in your blood and it can get to your head causing what is called Hepatic Encephalopathy. Or that disoriented ‘brain fog’ feeling.
I am in no way saying you have liver disease but it is what I experience. It really, really sucks.

I agree with the response above.
It may be your body/system trying to adjust. Drinking more water than usual helped me. I also started my day off with tea; the caffeine I believe helped as well.
Good luck with your journey
